Daily EF Feedback? (EF21)

<< < (3/4) > >>

karpour:
Daily EF was great as usual! I also liked the 2am-delivery of the current issue to the artist lounge!
Sadly on Sunday, I failed to get an issue! The standees were empty and the stacks in conops also only had all other issues with the Sunday one nowhere to be found!
I liked most articles, the only one that felt strange was Akeela's article on fursuiters. While I assume that the article was meant to fuel a discussion, it seemed very cynical.

Anyway, thanks for your hard work again, I look forward to reading more next EF! :D

Luxen:
Thanks a lot for all the feedback! More is still welcome; I'm just replying to some points.

Distribution: As the standee in the lobby ran empty rather fast, we'll have to think of a way to improve that... bigger baskets, an additional standee or shorter filling intervals.

Missed copies: We'll see if we can set up a place where there's always a stock of the "old" papers too. Most likely at or near the ConOps office as that is publicly accessible and they're basically our neighbours. Also, we'll just print more than 1000 copies next year.

"Endangered Species": We got lots of feedback on that one, mostly positive. It seems like it sparked some fruitful discussions, which I believe is what the author intended. We were pleasantly surprised how well-read even longish articles without pictures turned out to be. Thanks for that!

The "Jumpy family issue": We're very happy to have brightened your day! (And let me assure you, I had nothing to do with picking the images  ;) )

Geting more native speakers: I also agree that we could profit from having one or more native speakers on the team. We try every year, but motivated writers hard to come by. If you know one that might be interested, by all means let me know!

Yeah, we ran out of yellow toner much faster than we thought. So we were some 300 copies short on the Sunday issue. (I printed a few hundred black-and-white copies to somewhat compensate for that. I know it's not the same. But it was all I could do at that point.) We are sorry for that.

That's kind of strange. We had two standees for distributing the copies. One was in the main lobby opposite of the charity booth. The other one was at the convention center at the top of the main staircase leading to the lower level. Apart from the morning rush-hour you should have been able to fetch them there...

Zefiro:
The Daily grew into a cheerished tradition of Eurofurence. This year I didn't manage to read it daily (though I tried to at least snag one issue for each day, for collectors purposes), but I did in the last years.

I do enjoy the articles, the fotos, and the mere fact that it exists. The Furry Fandom for me is a separate world, in which I live in short time intervals between my regular life, and having our own newpaper, discussing our very own topics and events, helps bring this world to live and fill me with joy.

I also applaud the active distribution. I have to admit, I did rarely notice the standees where to grab them this year. But I remember a "paper boy" running around during breakfast, handing out freshly printed copies to everyone raising their paw. I really liked that :)

What about hanging out one exemplar each day for public viewing e.g. at one of the glass doors leading to the Conops office? Like at real newspaper offices they often have their current issue on display.

*purrrrrr*
